Cooperativa Eléctrica de Trelew implements restructuring plan

The new administration of the Cooperativa Eléctrica de Trelew has initiated a comprehensive restructuring plan to address financial instability and operational disorder. Following a meeting with the local Deliberative Council, leadership reported inheriting a delicate situation characterized by significant debt and the need for deep administrative adjustments.

Key measures include a review of operating costs, reduction of overtime, optimization of the vehicle fleet, and a freeze on filling vacancies left by retiring staff. The cooperative is also targeting irregular connections, which account for approximately 12% of total usage and contribute to overall losses of 22%.

To address historical debts with CAMMESA, the entity is awaiting a national project for liability compensation. The administration has committed to transparency and is working to regularize users through social tariffs and coordination with local police and fiscal authorities.
